How to get into shape for football?

How can I get in shape for Football?

  • Okay, well, I wasn't planning on playing Football until Junior year (currently, I'm Freshman). But somehow, I decided to play this coming year. Work out and practices start in like... May? I think? And I want to get in as good shape as I can before then. I have a lot of natural athletic ability, well, used to. I got really lazy and retired from sports for about 6 years... (stupid, I know) and I got out of shape. I'm currently 15 years old, 6'0, about 175lb (I'm not fat at all. It's mostly cause I'm tall). Okay, now here is the gutbuster... I've NEVER played structured Football. Just with my friends. And I used to be as fast as lightning (but got out of shape), but I played BBALL this year and that helped me get in better shape so I'm getting my speed back. And I'm very strong (well, a lot stronger than people think. I look kind of low on muscle, but I'm pretty strong considering I don't lift). So tackling, defending, etc... isn't an issue. Any tips? I'm very low on cash atm so joining an actual gym is out of the question. My school does have a weight room free of charge. I might be able to use that, depending on the schedule we're allowed to use it. Thanks!!=))

  • Answer:

    I noticed your tag said vegetarian. You might be at a substantial disadvantage in terms of non-meat protein. Sure, beans, legumes, and plants have protein, but not as readily compared to POST-EXERCISE-READY PROTEIN that meats/fish provide. Human ancestry evolved out of meat eating (early homo sapiens). They ate a balanced meat, plant, fish, vegetable diet. They did not know of eating ONLY vegetarian. The body is built to eat meat for muscular development and to compete at an athletic event, your meat-eating competitors and brethren will have an advantage. JUST AN OPINION.

Based on your height and weight, I believe that the best fit for you is at safety. Considering your age, your size gives you the potential to become an elite high school safety, who could go on to play college football. What you need to do this (and every) offseason is eat healthy, and exercise by doing a lot of running every day. If you do these two things, you will get faster, stronger, and into better shape, which will greatly improve your chances of becoming a successful high school football player, as well as getting recruited to play for a college football program in the future.
